Wow, looks like a big chunk of the Toronto coaching staff just moved to Edmonton. That says something about the respect they must have for Chris and the job he did as defensive coordinator for Toronto in 2013. Toronto was a very competitive team -- interesting to see what this bodes for the eskies who had a lot of problems last year.

Looks like Milanovich will be re-building his staff! Nothing like raiding your former team's staff to fill yours! lol Jones will know most, if not all of these coaches well.

I knew for a while McAdoo was going to Edmonton. he deserves it. Losing Shivers and Phillion hurts. I imagine Burke will add a lot of his own guys to the Argos D.
